One of the most ridiculous things about modern life is companies believing that mobile phones are secure.

Running security though a mobile phone is broadcasting their security porcedures to the world, as well as allowing a mobile phone thief access to your bank account.

House addresses are safe. Home phones are safe, because stealing a home phone is difficult.

Mobile phones are not safe. Not even as safe as pin numbers.

Mobile phones are radios.

When you talk into a radio, you talk to the world.

The first lesson of radio security is that there is always someone listening in who you’d rather not have listening.

I know this is true, because i’ve been that someone.

I worked for nearly 4 years in electronic warfare. You’re telling lies, all communication over the radio spectrum is perfectly safe. I wouldn’t even bother with any of the cypher rubbish – complete waste of time generally.

All radio communications are being monitored by John in Thunderbird 5.
